  • Patent number: 7293469
    Abstract: An electromagnetic flowmeter has a measuring tube through which a fluid to be measured flows, a magnetic field applying section which applies a magnetic field to the fluid to be measured, and a couple of electrodes which pick up an electromotive force generated according to a flow rate of the fluid to be measured, wherein each of the electrodes has an interface processed by electropolishing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 18, 2005
    Date of Patent: November 13, 2007
    Assignee: Yokogawa Electric Corporation

  • Patent number: 5503035
    Abstract: An ultrasonic fluid vibrating type flowmeter comprising a set of ultrasonic transmitter and ultrasonic receiver mounted on a pipe carrying the fluid whose flow rate is to be measured; driving device for intermittently driving the transmitter using burst waves containing an oscillation frequency to cause the transmitter to apply ultrasonic signals to the fluid and cause its vibration; standard timing device for generating a standard signal to control the timing of the burst waves whereby the receiver receives an amplitude modulated signal whose amplitude is modulated by the frequency modulation caused by vibration of the fluid; and sampling device for sampling an envelope of the amplitude modulated signal in synchronism with the standard signal and at times governed by a predetermined function, whereby the vibration frequency of the fluid is detected from the sampled amplitude modulated envelope while concurrently removing noise influences.
